    For sheer entertainment value, this almost can't be beat. The best sci fi satire of the 80s. Horrible deaths, endless hilarious quotes, great characters, and a beating heart of allegorical subtext to flesh out the intelligent politicizing. It's tight, short, without filler, over the top but still thinking, and has endless replay value. Its' cult following is well deserved. Did I mention the brilliant score - or the parade of smashed windows? Just see this gem. 13 years 4 months ago

    A satirical look at the future and commercialisation of everything. Violence is rife and the only way is to create a super-cop...brilliant! Such a great 80's movie! 12 years 3 months ago
